Trump's Bizarre $92 million Military Parade
Aug 17th, 2018 at 5:36am
 
Trump's Bizarre Military Parade Is Already $80 Million Over Budget


Quote:
The parade, slated for Nov. 10, is estimated to cost $92 million, the official said. The figure includes $50 million from the Pentagon and $42 million from interagency partners such as the Department of Homeland Security. An initial estimate last month pegged the prospective cost for the parade at $12 million.

Parades don't come cheap, A. Someone has to mould all the gold floats and costumes.

We will make Amerika great again, no?

How about having a parade of men who evaded military service with the bone spur ploy?

I agree, Forgiven. Someone needs to acknowledge the bravery of these fine young men.

Marvellous.

It appears Donald Trump has made his selection of parade units.

Trump angrily cancels his expensive parade project.In July of 2017, the president was impressed by the Bastille Day military parade he saw during his visit to France. He called for a comparable American event, a showcasing of the latest military hardware through the streets of Washington, D.C. The Pentagon took up the task of planning the event, but cost estimates kept going up, jumping more than 700% from $12 million to 92 million.

The funniest thing is Trump is trying to blame the local Washington DC officials as if they're the ones who priced it so high...

Anyone's fault but his...

He really is out of touch.  And the forgotten people think he cares about them...  Imagine how many veterans that nearly $100 million could help.

Perhaps Trump can lead Saudi Terrorism enablers in a military parade featuring the laughable 'sword dance'.

Practice makes perfect.

That's more like it. Mr Trump can have a jolly dance with the Saudis. Meanwhile, he can ban those from the Muslim countries until we can work out what the hell is going on.

It was a dumb idea that NO ONE WANTED other than Trump so he could put on a bigger show than his favourite dictators.

Donald can't get to wear his dictator's uniform before he is impeached.
